บท 648: Chapter 27 Planning

Shuangxi Town was part of Mont Blanc County, located on the East Bank of Anya River, facing Manyun Valley across the river.

It was a peaceful agricultural town with only twenty-two permanent resident families.

Tonight, this tranquility was doomed to be shattered by iron hooves.

A squad of cavalry approached the town quietly and launched a sudden attack after dark.

The sound of hooves thundered like a storm, scaring the mayor and his wife so much that they fell out of bed.

He turned around in fright, only to see the glinting blade coming straight for him.

The old mayor collapsed in the dust.
